It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

A nice little storm we had this evening, so I am off the hook for crass cutting tonight. If I were though (tomorrow now looks like) this is the tune I've been humming of late. I'm thinking of having a go at it, myself. If, I can ever find a decent arrangement ...

Wayne update lol: Getting involved in a local community group has proven very time consuming, but worth it!(?) Looks like the little shits (local children) will be getting a mini bike track installed within the next couple of weeks, and plans for other stuff are in the pipeline.......

On a personal level, I've been getting into the old gardening lark, growing our own edibles etc, whilst the other half working on solar energy, storing, self sufficiency kinda stuff

Piano wise, it's been sort'of nice to have an intimate, personal hobby to retreat to, although I've not really progressed in learning new material, but 'realised' how taking stuff slow, practising and really understanding is more beneficial than I knew

.........it's 2am here now lol, and have to go to work tomoz, been having a few whoes with our latest little girl 'Tia' (our newest addition to the doogies....) so hoping stuff pans out ok.

.....didn't know you was such a proficient 'hummer' like Richard and myself Greener lol

Yes, indeed Wayne. although I often skip right over the Intro. If you and Richard are also proficient Whistlers, then I believe we can all say we are indeed, multi-talented. Oh ... and I used to be a pretty good Roller Skater . I know, it is a tough one to top.

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit more mobile Recaredo, and getting back to some practice and playing.

Actually Greener, I'm quite nifty myself when it comes to Roller booting, (I wasn't allowed a bike when I was younger, so Roller boots it was, I'd hitch a ride by holding on to the back of friends bikes if we were going anywhere of distance or speed ) However, you've got me on the whistling, not really one of my talents, especially the two finger in mouth ones, I just blow air with no sound

I'm going on under diet, although last night went out with my university mates and couldn't avoid some beers and tapas, Oops!

Btw, now my oldest (he's fourteen) is in Drogheda, he's going to spend two weeks there with a local family. He has told me he's very happy with them, they are lovely. I also hope he improves seriously his English during these days.

......we've made good friends on RST, I wont forget it lol n always check back on occasions to keep up to date and see if us all are getting on ok my well wishes to Rossy, hope/am sure he's well, maybe even stalking Love to all & Speak soon x

Thanks Wayne for the good wishes! It's hard to believe it's the third anniversary of the launching of RST!

Best wishes and love to everyone who has contributed to this thread! While I haven't had as much to contribute lately, this place is home to me because of the wonderful friendships we've developed.

I'm hoping to have some music to share this weekend. Thanks everyone for your friendship and sharing your music!

I was thinking of a good party tune in preparation for the EPP last week. Van halen always used to set the mood for me. But a little too heavy for me these days. And of course, it is post EPP now. I have settled on a Love Song for my next Jukebox pick. Without details ... the video has meaning for me. In a positive way, thankfully. Also, it is the type of piano sound I love.

The Lark is incredible, Aimee. Must have been a great show. And thank you for sharing Fiona. I did not know this person, but I am glad I've been introduced now. What a great style. Quite a shift then to Zeppelin ... all great.

This was an album my brother had when I was young. A good album I recall with some exceptional parts. Like the main theme here ...

Recaredo, I was impressed with the finalists I saw. We saw only 4 of the 12. I'm hoping I can catch the finals on Sunday. I think poor BillyO got his fill Tuesday, however.

Hi Greener! Thanks so much for the APP.. I've not heard them in ages! That's a great one. Note to self: listen to Alan Parsons Project at work tomorrow. By the way, I've really enjoyed seeing your pictures and reading about your experiences at the EPP.. So jealous!

Aimee, I certainty do remember that! It was funny, and I'd still love to learn how Rossy pulled that off! Unfortunately, Rossy isn't available. Perhaps we should get Hawkings to investigate what Rossy is up to!

I just wanted to drop by today to say hello to everyone. I hope you're all doing well. Right now I'm preparing to play in a student recital my teacher is organizing. It's in September and I have not been in one of these kinds of recitals since I was 17! I'll record after the performance and share it later.

I'll be a bit mysterious and hold off on naming the piece until after I've performed it. I've become a bit superstitious because it seems lengthy delays happen when I announce in advance. Right now I've got to prepare for my lesson this morning. Off I go!

BTW, here's what my piano just started me on. Have a good day everyone !
